media bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network. On the P-335U,
you can also set up a VPN tunnel that gives you a secure connection to another computer or
network without the need (and expense) for leased lines between sites.
The P-334U or P-335U supports the IEEE 802.11a, b and g standards, so that either IEEE
802.11b/g or IEEE 802.11a compatible clients can wirelessly accesss the P-334U or P-335U
or the wired network behind it.
The P-335U provides a USB port to connect to a USB v1.1 compliant printer and can act as a
print server. The computers connected to the P-335U can share a priner without a dedicated or
standalone print server.
